IPIE Submission to the EU AI Office: Stakeholder Consultation on Draft Guidelines on Transparency Requirements for Certain AI Systems under Article 50 AI Act

This submission to the European Commission's AI Office outlines what policymakers should consider when finalising guidelines on AI transparency obligations under Article 50 of the EU AI Act. The International Panel on the Information Environment (IPIE) recommends that policymakers consider strengthening accountability frameworks for complex AI deployment environments, grounding assessments of transparency measures in empirical evidence, and extending the rationale for disclosure obligations beyond individual awareness to address broader harms to democratic processes, public discourse, and the integrity of the information environment.
